Annual Mass for Families
Family life is under siege in the secular popular culture. Traditional marriage is redefined by the courts and family values are openly challenged in the media. Christians and people of good will are praying and working faithfully for a crucial change in direction. Join The Austin Chapter Knights of Columbus for the Annual Mass for Families celebrating the family and praying for God’s protection of the essential unit of our human society. This special Mass and reception will be held at St Albert the Great in Austin on Saturday June 30th at 10:00 AM. Join us for this powerful event.

June Council Meeting Date Change
Brothers, our “June” meeting will be held Wednesday, May 30. We are rescheduling from the usual date because St. William is not accepting facility reservations during the first week of June. This will be an important meeting as officer elections will be held. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend. Usual time and location – 7:30 p.m. at the Fr. Michael J. McGivney Pavilion at St. William. Thanks!
Food For Families
Update: This food drive brought in over 12,000 lbs. of food to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Many thanks to the St. William administration and community for supporting this food drive! Although the Lenten food drive is complete, collection boxes are permanently located in the St. William narthex any time you may want to donate throughout the year.
“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Mt. 25:40

Father-Son Opportunities
In order to provide opportunities to bond with our sons, the Council is planning events designed to appeal to younger Knights or future Knights. You can also invite your daughters, wives, friends…but especially consider inviting someone who might one day become a Knight of Columbus.
The events are a rock climbing adventure and a zipline experience. You can find the details by clicking on the links:
